DTR/DSR vs RTS/CTS - followup

[lists at vmn.com.br]

Hello All,

Last week I sent an email about a problem with a serial printer that
used DTS/DTR hardware flow control.
I later understood that DTS/DTR was not supported in linux , and
therefore not in wine. Linux [and wine] support RTS/CTS hardware flow control.

Since the protocols are similar, an ideia that I received was to construct a
cable that made the computer think it was using RTS/CTS and the printer think it
was using DTR/DTS.

Today, I received the cable from the printer manufacturer and the initial tests
with wine/linux worked.

****************************
RTS - Ready To Send
CTS - Clear To Send

DTR - Data Terminal Ready
DSR - Data Set Ready

Thanks every one from wine-devel for all the prompt answers I received.
